Is believing that ability and intelligence can be achieved through effort.
Montessori Moment
Term to ponder – Grace and Courtesy
Grace can be described as how a person relates kindly to themselves and courtesy is how we communicate respect to others. Parents and teachers model this first and many lessons can be taught on the topic. For example, how to greet someone, how to set the table, putting up a coat or serving others food. As a child gets older this will develop into skills like maintaining friendships and practicing self-control. Grace and courtesy are a distinguishing feature of the Montessori method.

Montessori Moment
Montessori term to ponder – The Intelligence of Love
Intelligence of love could be described as the inner guide that leads children to observe what is about them. “It is indeed a form of love that gives them the faculty of observing in such an intense and meticulous manner the things in their environment that we, grown cold, pass by unseeing.” In Maria Montessori’s book The Secrets of Childhood she argues a child has this form of love in them and it ought not be hindered by the adult. Their joy, in fact, ought to bring us life. Reminding us with their curious intelligence of love to stand in wonder and joy of the curious world around us. How a leaf floats from a tree, how a cap fits perfectly on a bottle, a set of stairs to be explored and the morning sun that wakes a child which in turn wakes an adult in an attempt to offer a touch of love. All these things are keenly observed by a child and that joy of learning is worth amplifying and exploring together.
Of all things love is the most potent.
Dr. Maria Montessori
